My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pruning maple whips

18 years ago

I bought several maple whips, 30" in length. How do I prune these whips, so the trees form into nice shaped trees, how high off the ground, what season,and so on?
